He's a Whore (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. Tracks: "He's a Whore" b/w "The Model." Originally released in 1987. Featuring Dave Riley (bass), Santiago Durango (guitar, vocals), Steve Albini (vocals, guitar), and Roland Drum Machine (itself). 'STILL afflicted but over, Big Black's final tribute to tribulations arrives pragmatically packaged in midnight blue humor. They end apparently swiping at the business they've done so much to negate, the last laugh's targeted, for the first time, outwards, at icons. We never thought of them as iconoclasts; there's too much self-loathing and inadequacy there to believe they believe there's anything worth hating outside. Right or wrong it's hardly important. If, as we determine, Big Black are body neurosis made sonic, anorexia as audio, then Kraftwerk's "Model" is a particularly sick trick with which to end their subliminal revolution. If it is just a joke then David Lynch is probably the only one it'll get a belly-laugh from. We smiled weakly, felt the strength run from us, decided the world wasn't small enough for Big Black and made "The Model" single of the week.' - Sex, Anorexia and Courage
